Following a successful stage acting career, including a spell with the Old Vic company, Roger’s first TV job was hosting Anglia’s lunchtime show alongside the actor, Susan Hampshire.
However, he decided to move behind the camera and was selected for the BBC’s directors course. He was the first to put Dudley Moore on screen, directed Michael Bentine in the comedy series, It’s A Square World, and worked often with Spike Milligan.
The university’s Mads Johan Øgaard and Katie Wyman scooped the Animation award with I Am Dyslexic; Adam Gunton and Michael Brown won the Comedy and Entertainment award for The Reunion; and the Drama prize went to Max Jedwab for Ockham’s Razor.
